Gentlemen,
Both of you keep using the Blood against Baptism. Here is just a sample of what both of you keep saying:
Now what you both keep failing to see is that I believe in the power in the Blood of Jesus Christ. You must understand that to argue for the Blood does not nullify baptism. But the scriptures teach that we contact the Blood through baptism.
"Blue Bible Dude", you quoted the example of the Israelites applying the blood on their doorposts. But HOW did they apply it? with the Hyssop right? (Ex. 12:22). If those Israelites had your logic, they would've argued like this:
"Hey, you fellow Israelites, don't you know that it is by the blood that you'll be saved, not with hyssop.
So since we we'll be saved by the blood and not with the hyssop, it's not necessary to use the hyssop. Now if you choose to use the hyssop, then you'll be blessed, and if you don't eventually use the hyssop, then man, you'll be missing out.
But now if you use the hyssop so that the Lord will pass over your first born, then you'll be practicing a works salvation.
By the way, since faith in the blood is what will spare our first born, then they're already saved, even before you apply the blood. So the hyssop really isn't necessary.
That would be utterly ludicrous, but it is the same logic that you are arguing against baptism.
[size=+2]BAPTISM and the BLOOD[/size]
Both are "for the remission of sins":
BLOOD "for the remission of sins" (Mt. 26:28)
BAPTISM "for the remission of sins" (Ac. 2:38)
Both "wash away" sins:
BLOOD (Rev. 1:5)
BAPTISM (Ac. 22:16)
Both save:
BLOOD (Rom. 5:9)
BAPTISM (1 Pet. 3:21; Mk. 16:16)
Both cleanse the conscience:
BLOOD (Heb. 9:14)
BAPTISM (1 Pet. 3:21)
Baptism no more nullifies the blood than the hyssop did for the Isaraelites.
Baptism no more nullifies grace than the hyssop did for the Israelites.
Baptism is no more of a "works salvation" than the hyssop was for the Israelites.
HOW do you apply the Blood? Through BAPTISM!

sbbqb7n16 said:You are bought by the Blood of Jesus Christ and not with water. And it is by His Blood that you are saved not by baptism.
A Brethren IN CHRIST said:blood is what the H.S. uses to wash us to cover sin once and for all I belief
